NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     gluGetString - return a string describing the GLU version or GLU
     extensions

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     const GLubyte * gluGetString( GLenum name )

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     name  Specifies a symbolic	constant, one of GLU_VERSION, or
	   GLU_EXTENSIONS.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     gluGetString returns a pointer to a static	string describing the GLU
     version or	the GLU	extensions that	are supported.

     The version number	is one of the following	forms:

     major_number.minor_number
     major_number.minor_number.release_number.

     The version string	is of the following form:

     version number<space>vendor-specific information

     Vendor-specific information is optional.  Its format and contents depend
     on	the implementation.

     The standard GLU contains a basic set of features and capabilities.  If a
     company or	group of companies wish	to support other features, these may
     be	included as extensions to the GLU. If name is GLU_EXTENSIONS, then
     gluGetString returns a space-separated list of names of supported GLU
     extensions.  (Extension names never contain spaces.)

     All strings are null-terminated.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     gluGetString only returns information about GLU extensions. Call
     glGetString to get	a list of GL extensions.

     gluGetString is an	initialization routine.	Calling	it after a glNewList
     results in	undefined behavior.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

     NULL is returned if name is not GLU_VERSION or GLU_EXTENSIONS.
